Of course he was going to win (except for some reason I believe what 2007 when Gordon won over him). The champion in NASCAR always gets it. NASCAR driver period gets it. Francitti was worthy of it but an IRL driver will never get it.

hahahaha...

I read that article, it was funny how after NASCAR fans slammed him, he changed his mind and "read up" on NASCAR. He's an idiot and so is everyone else that doesn't think NASCAR drivers are athletes. I read some of what he said, he's ignorant and illiterate.

I'd like to see a baseball player, basketball player, or football player sit for hours on end contending with 42 other drivers, sweating their buns off, putting up with rule changes by the hour and suppose to be nice 24 hours a day and see if they think race drivers can call themselves athletes. I think they should beable to call themselves anything they want.

The Military Thanks You For Standing Behind Them. If You Can't Do that You Can Always Stand In Front Of Them.....Think About It.....

Thank you to those who took a step forward to save the rest who stand still.
